CYLINDRICAL LIGHT TRANSMISSIVE BASE SUBSTANCE FOR ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR, ELECTROPHOTOGRAPHIC PHOTORECEPTOR AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light transmissive base substance for an electrophotographic photoreceptor capable of housing an exposure device excellent in optical uniformity, causing no image blurring, having high resolution and good durability inside, and to provide an electrophotographic photoreceptor and an image forming method and a device using the same where the deformation of the base substance is restrained to be extremely small and the image blurring or the like does not occur even in the case of performing heating for drying at the time of applying a photoreceptive layer and even in the case of consecutively forming an image for a long time. ;SOLUTION: This cylindrical light transmissive base substance for the electrophotographic photoreceptor is made of polymer resin, and set so that thermal deformation start temperature is ≥100°C, a double refraction value is ≤40 nm and its dispersion is within 5 nm.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2000,JPO
